The Gazette 1961 - 64

Slochana on foot of two warrants ..signed by a Justice of the Peace for the Borough of Kingston- upon-Thames, London and duly endorsed for execution in Ireland by a Deputy Commissioner of the Garda Siochana. The prosecutor was arrested and brought to the Bridewell in Dublin for the purpose of being handed over to the English police. The warrants contained recitals that informations on oath had been laid against the prosecutor alleging offences under sections 154 (13) and 156 (a) of the Bankruptcy Act, 1914, as amended. This Act is an English statute which never •applied in Ireland. The prosecutor obtained a conditional order of habeas corpus and subjiciendum directed to the station sergeant at the Bridewell and on the application to make absolute the conditional order the cause shown was allowed and the conditional order discharged. Against tliis order the prosecutor appealed on the grounds, inter alia, that there was no evidence that the acts alleged in the warrants constituted a crime or offence under English law. It was held by the Supreme Court (reversing the High Court) that the cause shown should be dis allowed and the conditional order of habeas corpus made absolute. Walsh J. who delivered the judgment of the court stated, in the course of his judgment, that there was no evidence that the matters complained against the applicant in the warrants are offences or crimes, under English law. Adopting the view of Gavan Duffy P., in the State (DowUng) v. Brennan and Kingston 71 I.L.T.R., 90, 131, (1937) I.R. 483, at p, 509, Mr. Justice Walsh said that he was of opinion that the appropriate authority in Ireland should decline to affix his indorsement to such a warrant until he is satisfied on proper evidence that the warrant was issued for a crime or an offence according to the law for the time being in force in the country in which the warrant originated.
